FPGAs aren't mere software.

While scrypt in general might need some RAM added, Litecoin's scrypt can probably be done.

I know, I'm not saying it's impossible, it just won't be as effective as cheaper and more available options it's premise attempts to replace...

Can it be done? Has it been done?

Scrypt requires significant onboard memory to process transactions. So it's more than a software hack, sorry buddy. Sad

It is not easy as Scrypt mining requires more memory and access it often
